My invention relates toay dishwashing de* vice and hasfforitspr'incip'al object the provision of'a relatively simple, practicaland to providea device of the characterreferred ingdevice constructed iinexpensive devicethatmay yberconnected 'to a faucet or the like, andwinch Vdevice may be advantageously employed for the purpose of washingdishes that are or other suitable container.

Further objects of my `invention arey to provide a dish washing devicethat may be manipulated without the necessity forrplac ing the hands inthe washing luids,. furtlier to ,with a perforated container for soap;or the like, and which latteris mixed with .the water passing throughthe device, thereby produc ing soapsuds for the purpose of cleansing thedishes; and further to provide ardish'v washing device that 4includes areadilydetachabie brush that serves as a scrubbingelement while thedevice isin use;

Extending through the lower portion `of the container V10 and securedtothe wall thereof is al rod 18, the ends of which project a slightdistanceoutwardly frointhe wall of the container, thereby providingsupports and points ofr attachinentfor a brush that is positionedbeneath thecontaiiier.

washing-device comprises frame that is preferably vv'formed Vof twopieces. of wire twisted together and said frame being shaped Veo 'Y VThebrush utilized on my improved ldisli soas toiform a pair vof parallelmembers19, i v each of which carries a vfield orbody of raf riallyarranged'bristles 270, thusfo-rming a pair of substantialcylindricalbrushes which,

when the brushfframeis applied to the container, lie immediately beneaththe bottom of the container as illustrated in F igs. 2 and 8.

The end portions of the twisted wire brush frame are extended yupward toformsubstantial'ly inverted if-shaped members 21,k the up,-

Loosely arranged within the. container 10 is asinaller container 24,preferably a small can formed of sheet metal land having a reends oflthe rod V18, thereby retainingthe 'r Y proper. position` beneaththe'conmovable cap or cover25 and the Wall of thisv sn'iall containerperforated. This container 24 is adapted to receive soap or lilredetergent, and the size of this soap container is such that it restsonthe rod 18 as illustrated for Fig. 2.

By virtue of this arrangement the soap' container is held abovetliebottom 11 of the container 10, and thus theentire series ofapertures '23 are always open toy permit the In the use of my improveddish washing device hot water from a faucet or other'suitable source ofsupply is permitted to. passk through a flexible tube 17, and thisheated water fills thecontainer 10, and acting upon the soap ordetergentcontained in the can 24 produces soapsuds, and which flatter'dis-- 10o f. i
